The term "Femslash", "Femmeslash" or "Saffic" are often used for lesbian pairings specifically.
Traditionally, the more lopsided the male-to-female ratio, the easier it is to have slash pairings rather than straight pairings. One example is the game Team Fortress 2 with eighteen male characters Maybe sixteen. Jury's still out on the Pyro and one female voice who's about sixty years old and is also a chainsmoker.

When the term "slash" was coined you didn't have to discuss what it meant, because you knew it was gay fanfic. How did you know? There were no canonically gay characters in the mainstream media fandoms people wrote in. The early slashers had to queer the text based on subtext they thought they saw -- I don't think anyone really thinks that any subtext in ST:TOS was intended by the producers, writers or actors -- because they knew the powers that be TPTB were never going to do it for them.
In fact that's still a common answer to the " why write slash " question -- we have to because that's the only way to get what we want. Then the winking, the conscious subtext, started. I don't really know where; my first encounter with it was with TNG -- where one of the main writers admitted that he felt Q was in love with Picard -- and it was really blatant in Xena where TPTB did everything but say "they're lesbians and they are so doing each other!

Slash has also been misdescribed in the press as a genre exclusive to straight middle-class women, and even as a kind of "mommy porn" written by housewives in their copious spare time.
Many slash authors may have portrayed themselves in this way in order to keep anonymity, since writing and mailing explicit homosexual narrative fanfic or not could get you jail time in the '70s.
The real slash demographic has always included Lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender women along with trans men and male-identifying gay and straight men. The slash subculture is getting bigger every day. The concept of homoeroticism and women getting off on men together is becoming more and more socially acceptable or at least more in the social consciousness.

Slash, then, is not merely women expending their literary energy on romantic stories: it is also the site of enormous anxiety, and while it is not somehow immune to problematic undercurrents or tendencies, it is also a way of processing that almost impossibly weighty anxiety and turning it into something else, into an act of play, of subversion, of uncomplicated erotic arousal and romantic satisfaction.
If the culture were free of misogyny — if the patriarchy, that is, did not exist — it would not be necessary, or would be the simple equivalent of men getting off on watching lesbians get off.
